Soft Keys

The four keys below the screen are called soft keys because their functions change according to the operation. The soft keys are grouped into related sets and subsets providing access to the various functions. The soft key labels are displayed on the screen just above the keys. The default soft keys are displayed until you press a key, or select an item on the screen; the soft keys associated with the action are then displayed as shown in Figure 1-2.

3.A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options.

As with dedicated keys, soft key operations are confirmed (or denied) by key beeps, see Dedicated Keys above.
